Dear Friends,
I was listening to the radio this morning and there was a fascinating
discussion about the verb "to bags". We used to use it often as kids, though
it's not heard so much today. I believe it's also used in the UK, but
probably not in the USA.

It means "to choose", I got there first", "it's mine" - all sorts of
connotations. I would love to know how widely it is understood. Examples of
its use are:-
- I bags the bone from the leg of lamb
- I bagsed it first
- She's always bagsing things before me!
- You can't bags that, I was here first!"
- There'll be no more bagsing, just be quite and eat your meal!

Sure looks strange written down
